I took a few days break from spicy wings. I’m back now. Thanks to these The Dirty Buffalo Hot Honey wings. Basically a sweet Buffalo-style sauce, this sauce holds on to your wings, tingles your tongue and makes you sweat a bit. With just the right amount of sweetness, you won’t confused these with dessert wings. They bring the heat and sweet.
I Went With Air Fryer Wings. Again…
I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them well. You can make The Dirty Buffalo Hot Honey wings any way you want. Deep fried. Baked. Air fried. Convention oven. Grilled. It doesn’t really matter. And honestly, you could make yourself a good old crispy fried chicken sandwich too and pour this sauce all over it. This sauce is great on anything. Use it as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. Deep-fried onion rings. Anything you have lying around, grab it. Sauce it or dip it. And wait for a nice sweet kick to follow!

Brrrrrrrrrr!
Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that time getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.
So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.
